488 Charlevoix, _Histoire de la Nouvelle France_, vi. 82 _sqq._; Timothy
Dwight, _Travels in New England and New York_, iv. 201 _sq._; L. H.
Morgan, _League of the Iroquois_, p. 207 _sqq._; Mrs. E. A. Smith,
“Myths of the Iroquois,” _Second Annual Report of the Bureau of
Ethnology_ (Washington, 1883), p. 112 _sqq._; Horatio Hale,
“Iroquois sacrifice of the White Dog,” _American Antiquarian_, vii.
7 _sqq._; W. M. Beauchamp, “Iroquois White Dog feast,” _ib._ p. 235
_sqq._
489 Squier’s notes upon Bartram’s _Creek and Cherokee Indians_, p. 78,
from the MS. of Mr. Payne. See above, p. 75 _note_.
490 Garcilasso de la Vega, _Royal Commentaries of the Yncas_, pt. i. bk.
vii. ch. 6, vol. ii. p. 228 _sqq._, Markham’s translation; Molina,
“Fables and Rites of the Yncas,” in _Rites and Laws of the Yncas_
(Hakluyt Society, 1873), p. 20 _sqq._; Acosta, _History of the
Indies_, bk. v. ch. 28, vol. ii. p. 375 _sq._ (Hakluyt Society,
1880). The accounts of Garcilasso and Molina are somewhat
discrepant, but this may be explained by the statement of the latter
that “in one year they added, and in another they reduced the number
of ceremonies, according to circumstances.” Molina places the
festival in August, Garcilasso and Acosta in September. According to
Garcilasso there were only four runners in Cuzco; according to
Molina there were four hundred. Acosta’s account is very brief. In
the description given in the text features have been borrowed from
all three accounts, where these seemed consistent with each other.

Possibly this case belongs more strictly to the class of mediate
expulsions, the devils being driven out upon the car. Perhaps,
however, the car with its contents is regarded rather as a bribe to
induce them to go than as a vehicle in which they are actually
carted away. Anyhow it is convenient to take this case along with
those other expulsions of demons which are the accompaniment of an
agricultural festival.
497 R. van Eck, “Schetsen van het eiland Bali,” _Tijdschrift voor
Nederlandsch Indië_, N. S. viii. (1879) 58-60. Van Eck’s account is

1883), p. 190 _sqq._
